        The time stamp is from March. Probably a unit headed to Fort Irwin for training. Could be units of the 3rd ID. I've seen long trains like this in Houston as they head to the port to load for rotation to Iraq as units would take all their vehicles with them.

          yup,

          seen a few come thru here since we are a crossroads of sorts between several large military forts, ,

          used to see a long train of artillery headed to or from Pickett years ago, but I think they are mostly tanks now

            I came across a scene of a long train of 155's on flatbeds. It was interesting to watch them unload. They just drive from flatbed to flatbed and then drop off on a huge pile of dirt behind the last car. These guys were training at Florence, AZ in the desert. Probably some driving but I'd guess more artillery. That was a few years back. These days I wonder if they can coincide with all the ATV traffict.
            If I should die before I wake...great,a little more sleep.

                Back in the last century I did many rail loads in Germany and Colorado. Loading up my track to go to training at Hohenfels, Graf, Ft Irwin.

                Not that big a deal. Makes for a long day though.
